1.00 Credits
1 credits Students will learn advanced technical and practical methods used to manipulate metals into objects of their own design. The course is a continuation of SC213 and begins with an over view of the basic processes of oxyacetylene bending, welding, and cutting, followed by more extensive methods of mig welding, plasma cutting, brazing, and stick welding. Students will then expand upon this to include basic blacksmithing. This practice will stress more advance fabrication methods in mechanics and structure of metal sculpture. It is designed to benefit those who are already familiar with the basics and want to gain greater proficiency in metalworking. Prerequisites: 3D Design, SC213 Fabrication Methods in Metal Fulfills: 1-Credit Studio Elective

3.00 Credits
3 credits In this course, students explore a variety of materials and approaches to sculpture in relation to specific in-door and out-door sites (chosen by instructor and students). Students look at how the evolution of a sculpture, sculptural activity and personal voice are affected by external considerations such as: location, physical conditions, usage and viewer response. Within this context the course will also touch upon contemporary issues surrounding Public Art. Students will be given the opportunity to execute a work of "public art" during the semester. Prerequisites: Fabrication Methods or Sculpture I Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); Studio Elective

3.00 Credits
3 credits In this course, students explore the relationship of the internal structure of form and its surface through the manipulation of flexible materials and texture. Working primarily with paper and cloth, along with wood, wire and stiffening agents, students devise a variety of methods to create structure. Emphasis is placed on expressive use of material and investigation of the interdependence of material and form. Slides, readings and documentation drawn from contemporary, as well as other sources supplement the course. Prerequisites: Three-Dimensional Design Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); Studio Elective

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course provides an in-depth study of a topic in Sculpture. The topic may be selected to take advantage of special events, to allow further exploration of a subject covered in a preliminary way in other courses, or to explore areas not sufficiently covered by the regular class rotation. Prerequisites: Prerequisites will be developed in conjunction with the course description for each topic. Fulfills: 200-Level Sculpture Course (Sculpture Students); Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Students choose materials and issues for their projects and are expected to complete a series of related works. Individual research of critical issues, group discussions of writings about sculpture, and trips to exhibitions, technical facilities, and sculptors' studios are important aspects of the course. Prerequisites: Sculpture II Fulfills: Sculpture Workshop Requirement (Sculpture students); 300-level Studio Elective; Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course provides technical skills and an aesthetic vocabulary for students using kinetic, and robotic devices in their work. Following a rudimentary introduction to electronics, students build simple kinetic devices that explore issues of gesture, initiation, duration, delay and action/reaction. Initial projects will involve connecting motors, gears, sound, lights, and other devices to sensors (motion, light, sound, pressure) in response to viewer presence. In the second half of the semester students integrate computer control into the creative process, beginning with a history of automatons, robotics and interactive artworks. Using programming, students alter the behavior of devices they have constructed using software timers, counters, and sensitivity control. Prerequisites: Sculpture I for sculpture concentrators; 45 earned credits for non-Sculpture concentrators Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); 300-level Studio Elective; Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This is a studio-lab that combines the languages of installation and performance art. It is designed to investigate issues of space and form within a real time situation. Students interact in real time within a variety of environments to explore this genre. Prerequisites: Sculpture I Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); 300-level Studio Elective; Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Mixed Media is an advanced interdisciplinary workshop class where students work on an individual basis with the instructor. Students select their format, content, and materials. This class attempts to increase student critical awareness and judgment. Visits to relevant exhibitions and discussions of support material comprise significant portions of this class. Prerequisites: Sculpture I or permission of instructor Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); 300-level Studio Elective; Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is designed to investigate and challenge traditional approaches to the carving of wood and stone. As such, after basic techniques of carving are addressed for both materials, other issues pertaining to subtractive and additive methods for creating sculpture will be explored. Studio time will be engaged with the consideration of mixed media and multiple forms within which the carved form will become a part of the composition. Assigned and student driven projects will be undertaken throughout the term. An on-going dialogue discussing contemporary sculptors1 work in these mediums as well as group and individual critiques of individual projects will augment the studio work. A field trip will be undertaken during the semester if time permits. Prerequisites: Sculpture I Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); 300-level Studio Elective; Studio Elective
